I'm honestly thinking the same about Lert, but I really hope he doesn't have to die. I know Pracha isn't gonna let him live....but... 😩
I think your theories might be right and it could all happen in that sequence. There are also theories about Tanwa having the will to live again by completing his mom's novel, and Trin reading it in the end.
I feel like it's gonna be a bittersweet ending for all of them since that's been the consistent tone of the series.

Ep8 teaser.... Tanwa holding onto Trin's handkerchief with barely any will left to live. 😢 And we had no sight of Trin!! Where is Trin?? 😩 Everything's just so nerve-racking. Pracha is so scary. Will the good people win for once? Are better days really ahead?

That's an interesting take. For me, I think Phadoem probably has eyes everywhere and it's likely that he's been occasionally, if not constantly, keeping tabs on Tanwa. I feel that Phadoem already knew Tanwa is close with Trin, especially after Trin stood up for Tanwa at the event. I wouldn't be surprised either if Phadoem knew Victor went to see Tanwa earlier on the very same day. So as long as Tanwa doesn't get into trouble, he turns a blind eye. But after knowing about the riot control, he went to warn Tanwa just in case because he's not taking any risk.

Though for me, I feel that it's less likely Tanwa was involved in the past since he's against violence, I think there's a chance you might be right about this. Tanwa may have fought before but to no avail, so he doesn't see the point in it anymore. There's still one more episode and we don't know what else they might reveal.

And about Trin getting mad at Krailert, I've always felt that Trin had some reservations about his uncle. So he probably doesn't have that much trust in Krailert as he does in Tanwa. With Tanwa, Trin has almost completely opened up his heart, but he hasn't done the same with Krailert. Trin probably wouldn't be surprised, though still would be mad, if Krailert did something like this. Because I think deep down he expects it. But with Tanwa, it hurts even more since he completely trusts Tanwa.

But we'll see. I think there's a scene from the long teaser where Trin was hugging Lert? So maybe they will eventually sort things out between them. But idk about Trin and Tanwa. After watching Ep8's teaser, I'm just hoping they all survive, except Pracha that piece of 💩.

I hope Krailert will have the people on his side. Pracha may be powerful, but hopefully with the people's and some media's support, they may be able to take down Pracha. Hopefully 😢

I'm very worried about both Tanwa and Krailert's state of mind right now. It feels like Krailert's planning to carry out a suicide mission. I really hope it doesn't end with him sacrificing himself in vain and Pracha that piece of sh*t still wins in the end.

While I understand why Trin did what he did to Tanwa, I didn't like it either. I really hope Trin comes back to Tanwa and apologizes for what he did before it's too late. Tanwa really has nobody by his side. 😢

Anyway, Tanwa's always been everyone's punching bag because he doesn't fight back. If anything happens to Tanwa, I can't forgive Trin. 😭

That's what I'm worried too but I don't wanna go there 😭😭😭 I won't be able to handle it.

Krailert and Tanwa went from home owner protecting his house with a rifle from an intruder, to uncle exchanging nods with nephew's lover to keep their loved one safe. How nice if we could have LertRan and TrinTanwa sit together at a table enjoying a meal with a moment's peace. 🙁

I think the hardest part isn't for Tanwa to forgive Trin, because I don't think he'd even blame Trin for punching him. The next hardest thing is for Trin to forgive Tanwa for lying to him, robbing him his chance to try and protect Victor regardless of the outcome. And the biggest obstacle of all, in my opinion, would be for Tanwa to forgive himself for lying to Trin and making Trin relive his trauma.

I think to him, the pain he unintentionally caused on Trin hurts even more than Trin's punch. Because all this time, Tanwa just wanted to make Trin happy. But because of his decision to keep it from Trin, it hurt Trin even more. Then there's also the question, whether Trin is able to forgive himself or not. Because he has to forgive himself first to be able to forgive Tanwa.

Both of them just really need to have a long conversation to understand each other's struggles. To be honest, I'm not confident about them reconciling, but I really hope we get a happy ending for them too.

Likewise :)

Thank you for the civil exchange. I wish you a good day and hope we both enjoy the final episode coming weekend. ❣

Would also like to add on that his character representing the hippies shouldn't be taken at face value. Even though that's how his character was introduced, his representation of a hippie only comes secondary as the story unfolds.

He is more than just a carefree hippie. His hippie character is only a facade and a coping mechanism for him. He chose that way of life because of the traumatic experiences he grew up with.

Thank you ❣ and you're absolutely right about Dawn. People see him as an apathetic selfish coward, but he's just like those who simply want to survive and enjoy the little happiness you can find in life. Because just living is already a daily struggle itself, so he uses his art and music to heal himself and others. He's not a coward. He's just human.

Thank you for understanding, and I get what you mean. I also understand how some may see it differently. It's just that for me, that's who and what Tanwa is in the series environment and events. *That* is precisely his purpose. That's the reason he's there. He's not meant to be part of the fight Trin, Lert, Ran, and Victor are fighting, and contribute to a greater purpose. He represents the other part of life. The ones who are silently fighting their own fights. The ones who are too consumed by their own demons and nightmares to have the energy to care about other things.

But again, that's just my humble opinion about Tanwa. I respect your opinion as well.

Thank you for appreciating and loving Tanwa too. Many would say Tanwa don't deserve Trin, but I think Tanwa deserves so much more love than he's getting because he never got any ever since his mother died. He could've turned out to be an a-hole with a chip on his shoulder, but instead, he grew into this sweet quirky person who just wants to bring peace and happiness, and actually has so much love to give.

If Trin can't appreciate how precious of a person Tanwa is, then Tanwa also deserves better. But Tanwa loves Trin, so I hope Trin loves him back just as much.

This. 😢 And the saddest part is Tanwa doesn't even have anyone he can turn to when he's having a hard time. Even in the series, many people assume he's just a useless happy hippie. His father abuses him. Trin criticizes him, and now blames him. Victor was prejudiced against him.

At least Trin's got a supportive system and family who truly loves and protects him. But Tanwa's got no one. He thought he found Trin, but feels like that one's leaving again. Even when he was hurting too, he was still there for Trin. But who's there for him?

I don't get how people can be so understanding of Trin, Lert, and Ran's characters, yet think Tanwa serves no purpose except being a comic relief and Trin's love interest.

Tanwa represents many people who grew up in an unhappy environment and still carries that trauma into adulthood, messing up in relationships because they don't think they deserve love or are too afraid of getting hurt. This isn't about who's playing Tanwa, but the character of Tanwa itself.

Honestly, I've given up on explaining to others because people who don't get Tanwa's character will never get it anyway. And just because we understand and empathize with Tanwa's character, we're being called fanatics. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ At least I try to understand and appreciate the importance of each character, and even for characters whom I don't relate to or like much, I still won't call them useless.

I also respect others' opinions if they don't like Tanwa, but there are even people who not only attack Tanwa's character but also the actor. It just hurts to see people calling Tanwa a useless character because he's the character I empathize with the most as well.

I'm sorry those words were said to you, but that also doesn't mean it's okay for you to be rude to others. If someone said offensive words to you, just report them, that's it. There's no need to attack others as well.

I feel the same too, but I really hope he stays alive and wins this fight!!

If you were being respectful, no one would be blocking or reporting you. I don't know why you're being so rude to people here and attacking people.

Going back to Ep3 to watch Trin and Victor's debate about democracy and protesting....and then fast forward to Ep7 hits even harder. 🫠 Trin has been stressing that taking things to the streets wouldn't solve anything, and that people can actually die in the process. And Victor questioned him back, "Who is to be blamed then? Protesters? Those giving the orders are sure to be blamed."

To which Trin replies, "It's not as important who's right and who's wrong as losing someone dear to you." Then Victor argues, "Then what should we do? Pretend to be ignorant and let them do whatever they want? Not make our demands heard?" And Trin then argues again that he's trying his best to make a change. Victor scoffs and calls him privileged. Trin stops himself from arguing further and steadies himself. And it was what Trin says at the very end that hurts even more now. He said, "Wait and see. Thank you for debating with me." 🥲

I remember after Ep3, I mentioned how much I liked Victor and Trin having opposite views yet sharing the same goal. I could see them becoming close like brothers and good friends. If only Victor made it to America, he could've found himself a cute boyfriend who shares the same goals and supports him, and he could come back and meet Trin again to work together and make a change. He could've seen the point Trin was trying to make, and also done the same as Trin.

I really hate how Victor had no plot armor and was carrying the death flag since the beginning. While I feel that it didn't have to be Victor, it also made complete sense that it was Victor. He's someone who'd put himself in harm's way to protect others. So when the commotion took place, everyone was busy running away. But Victor was more likely to fight back and try to save others. Victor was also the leader, so he likely had a target on his back all along... We don't know if Pracha had targeted Victor, or whoever was leading the protest that night. And Victor got unlucky deciding not to sit this one out.

Either way... it feels unrealistic, but I hope the only death we're getting in Ep8 is Pracha's.
